because as the distance increases the gravitational force decreases so the weight of a body decreases

Bess [88]3 years ago

Answer:

Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth because weight is inversely proportional to distance from the Earth which means Weight of the body decreases with increase in distance from the Earth and vice versa. Also Weight is "gravitational force exerted on the body" so as the distance from the Earth increases , the "gravitational force" decreases.

NeX [460]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Average acceleration  =  (13.2 - 6) / (6.32) = 7.2 / 6.32 = about  <em>1.139... m/s²</em> .

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

9.8m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball thrown after leaving my hand is 9.8m/s². This will be the acceleration due to gravity on the body.

  • Acceleration due to gravity is caused by the pull of the earth on a massive object.
  • The value of this acceleration is 9.8m/s².
  • As the ball nears the surface, it comes near zero.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

20 V

Explanation:

Power is 100 J/s or 100 W.

We know that P = IV = \frac{V^{2} }{R} .

Isolate the potential difference. V = \sqrt{RP} = \sqrt{100 * 4} = 20 V
